Zach McCrum had a three-hit night, but the Georgia Highlands Chargers dropped an 11-7 contest to visiting Walters State CC Friday night at LakePoint in Emerson. The visiting Senators opened a 6-0 lead in their first four frames and controlled the game from there. McCrum reached base four times, scored twice, and had one RBI with a fourth inning homerun and singles in the seventh and ninth innings. Jake Miednik recorded the win for Walters State on the mound. Kyle Wilson, Reed Hayes, and Weston McArthur led the Senators offensively by combining for five hits and three RBI. Wilson homered in the third. The Chargers scored four times in the fifth on a two-run single by Andrew Cooley, an RBI triple by Brandon Bell, and an RBI single by Brandon Etheridge. The rally narrowed the GHC deficit to 9-5. Walters State pushed the lead to 11-5 in the eighth before the Chargers answered with two of their own in the ninth that would not be enough. The ninth inning runs were sparked by a two-run Senators error. Bryan Quillens suffered the pitching loss for Georgia Highlands. Sean Wilson, McCrum, and Bradley Hood saw mound time for the Chargers. Highlands is now 5-2 following Friday’s loss and a Thursday doubleheader split with Chattanooga State CC. The series with Walters State continues with a Saturday doubleheader that begins at 1pm at LakePoint.

As most know in Cartersville and Bartow County, Miller Forristall -- a newly enrolled tight end at the University of Alabama -- was a quarterback for the Hurricanes before making the position switch in his junior season. The 6-foot-5, 212 pound tight end received college offers at quarterback before making the switch, but the unselfish move he made in the best interest of his team paid off when Nick Saban made him an offer to become a member of the Crimson Tide.

SMYRNA, Ga. – The Chattahoochee Tech men scored the game’s final nine points en route to a 71-68 comeback victory over Central Georgia Tech at the Smyrna Community Center on Wednesday night. The Golden Eagles broke a 68-68 tie with a Ryan Davis free throw with under a minute to play, then a Malik Jordan steal and layup with 1.7 seconds remaining gave the Golden Eagles their second straight GCAA win. The Golden Eagles (20-6, 7-5 GCAA) trailed 38-31 at halftime and took their first lead of the game, 49-48, with under 13 minutes to play. Central Georgia Tech retook the lead and pushed its advantage to six points, 68-62, but would not score again. Keith Ray (Hillgrove) led the Golden Eagles with 15 points and was a perfect 7-of-7 from the free-throw line to go with four rebounds. A.J. Mosby (Cartersville) scored 14 points to go over the 1,000-point mark for his career with the Golden Eagles. He added five rebounds and six assists. Davis (Cartersville) chipped in eight points and five rebounds, and Jordan Oliver (Rabun County) had eight points off the bench. Corey Tobin (Cartersville) had seven points and five rebounds, and Trevin Steede (Wheeler) scored seven points. Arthur Bennett (McEachern) had six points and six assists. The Golden Eagles' win puts them alone in third place in the GCAA standings after jumping Central Georgia Tech, now 7-6, with four conference games left. Georgia Highlands (12-0) and South Georgia (9-2) occupy the top two spots. Chattahoochee Tech will be back in conference action this Saturday at Albany Tech, with the women tipping off at 2 p.m. and the men following at 4 p.m.

WALKER GIRLS 48, EXCEL CHRISTIAN 27 Walker outscored Excel 15-6 in the second period and took a 25-12 lead to halftime on their way to a Region 6-A tournament victory that eliminated the Lady Eagles. Rylie Boston led Excel with nine points. Whitney Harris scored eight; Xena Enos four; Anna Lane Hattaway three; Lindsey Mauldin two; and Kalli Beth Scheff, one point. Excel finished its season with a 12-14 record. MOUNT PISGAH BOYS 64, EXCEL CHRISTIAN 56 (Overtime) The Excel Eagles led Mount Pisgah by 20 points midway through the third quarter Wednesday night in the Region 6-A tournament, but the Patriots’ furious comeback and full court defensive pressure sent the game to overtime where the Patriots won by eight and likely ended Excel’s season. Excel was ranked No. 22 in the most recent edition of the Class A private school power ratings. The early region tournament loss likely leaves the Eagles on the outside looking in regarding the Class A state playoffs. Quinn Richey led Mount Pisgah with 25 points. Brandon Younger scored 22 for the Patriots. Darius Thrower finished the night with 12 points for Excel. Latrel Jones contributed 11; Caleb West 10; Dylan Drew eight; and Chris Hale seven for the Eagles. Excel’s season likely concludes with a 12-14 mark. Mount Pisgah advances in the Region 6-A tournament to play second-seeded Whitefield Academy Thursday.
